Straub, Easton team up for 'Green Woman'

Author Peter Straub and actor Michael Easton have teamed up to write a graphic novel titled The Green Woman.

Published by DC subsidiary Vertigo, the book features artwork by painter John Bolton. Its storyline follows a homicide detective tracking a seemingly reformed killer.

"Michael and I are both very fond of graphic novels," Straub told Newsarama. "I read all the way through the Preacher and the John Constantine books because Michael raved about them to me - and he was right about them, of course, they're great works of complex storytelling."

Easton is renowned for his work on the television shows Ally McBeal and Mutant X. He is also known in the comics industry for penning the Soul Stealer graphic novels.

Straub is a bestselling novelist, most famous for his work in the horror genre. His book The Talisman - which he co-authored with Stephen King - has previously received the graphic novel treatment courtesy of Del Rey Comics.
